Q

Certificate of Airworthiness

A

-Needs to be revalidated every year or after each 100-flight-hour inspection
- Void if the aircraft has an accident
- Void if Weight and Balance are not respected (too heavy or weight distributed poorly)
- Void if other circumstances makes the aircraft not airworthy

Q

What is the cause of carburetor icing?

A

When humid air temp. is between -13 and 38 degrees celcius, ice forms on the induction system. Rapid cooling caused by the heat extraction of the air during fuel vaporization. Also because of the high expantion of the air through the carby venturi.

17
Q

Indication of carby icing

A
  • Loss of RPM
  • Loss of manifold pressure
  • Airspeed loss
  • Engine roughness
18
Q

When air-fuel mixture is too rich

A
  • engine will not run at full power
  • engine will run unevenly
  • engine will run cooler than desirable
  • fuel is wasted
  • foul sparkplugs and carbon deposits
  • flight range is reduced
19
Q

When air-fuel mixture is too lean

A
  • Engine losses power
  • Engine will run roughly
  • Engine will operate at a higher temp.
  • Engine knock
20
Q

How does wind sock work

A

15 kts and above, sock will be horizontal
10 kts, 5 degrees below horizontal
6 kts, 30 degrees below horizontal

21
Q

Setting up for run-up

A
  • Choose a clean surface
  • Do not block taxiway
  • Aircraft nose in the wind (for better engine cooling)
  • Slow down turning from downwind to upwind
  • Nose wheel straight
  • Stay on the Ground Frequency until ready to take-off
  • Check for traffic on final approache
  • Brakes might heat the disks and melt the snow, that turns into ice when landing
22
Q

Taxiing at uncontrolled airports

A
  • Pilot must use the MF (Mandatory Frequency) or the ATF (Aerodrome Traffic Frequency)
  • if the airport doesnt have a UNICOM, MF or ATF, use 123.2
  • State your backtrack
23
Q

Ground Visual signal: Green flashing light

A

Clear to taxi

24
Q

Ground Visual signal: Steady green light

A

Clear to take off

25
Q

Ground Visual signal: Red flashing light

A

Taxi clear of landing area

26
Q

Ground Visual signal: Steady red light

A

Stop

27
Q

Ground Visual signal: Flashing white light

A

Return to starting poing on airport

28
Q

Ground Visual signal: Flashing runway lights

A

Advise vehicle and people to vacate runway immediatly

29
Q

How to maintain aircraft at basic attitude

A
  • Horizon is level
  • leading edge and trailing edge of the wings are at equal distance to to horizon
  • Instruments say so
30
Q

Yaw movement is caused by:

A
  1. Torque
  2. Slipstream
  3. Asymmetric thrust
  4. Gyroscope precession
  5. Aileron drag
31
Q

Avoid a head-on collision

A

Each pilot turn to the right

32
Q

Avoid converging collision

A

Yield to the aircraft on the right

33
Q

Overtaking an aircraft

A

To the right at similar or lower altitude

34
Q

Flying in a straight line

A

Constant direction and heading, can change altitude

35
Q

Level flight

A

Constant altutude, can change direction

36
Q

What affects straigh line flights

A

Rolling and yaw

37
Q

What affects level flight

A

Pitching

38
Q

How to increase speed at level flight

A
  • Increase power
  • keep nose pitch down
  • control left yaw
39
Q

Compass errors

A

Acceleration error: most apparent on E and W headings. Accel: indicates north Decel: indicates south
Turning error: Turns from a north heading: turns opposit direction ans lags. Turns from south heading: Proper direction and leads

40
Q

In an uncontrolled airport without UNICOM, what are the approach directions

A
  • At the end of the downwind leg
  • After the runway fly-over and joining mid downwind
